Russellmus Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I'm finding the new Warp features to be pretty rough. In this instance I try to convert some warped shapes (perviously converted text) to curves, and it decided to fill the inside of the D in. This is the second 'layer' of warp applied to this, after converting the text to curves after applying a different Bend - Horizontal previously. Seems like it's essential to convert to curves after warping to prevent the text or shapes completely destroying themselves if I dare move them with a warp group applied.

MikeTO Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 I've seen the "filled counter" issue a few times in the forums so it's definitely a bug and I've duplicated the problem with your test document. I agree, converting to curves before applying a second warp is a good way to avoid the redraw issue but I think repeated warp + convert to curves compounds a tiny error until it's no longer so tiny. If you zoom all the way in on the filled counter of the D you'll see this - a bunch of stray points. If I copy the D shape outside of the warp group, so the last warp isn't applied to it, and zoom in I can see the flaw that led to the counter filling in the next time you applied a warp+convert to curves. So if I go back to your original document and zoom in on the D shape while it's inside the warp group, I can see the problem there, too, as you'd expect. It should be possible to edit the curve to clean this up before you convert to curves again but I didn't go any further with this.
